I’m currently working with Flutter and would like to build an app that does a simple network scan and lists all devices.

So, i started with the lan_scanner and network_info_plus flutter plugin.
Unfortunately I only get the IP addresses but I need the device name.

My first thought was to use the device_info_plus plugin, but this only returns information about the device on which the app is running.

I could establish a socket connection to every active IP address that the lan_scanner returns in order to get the device name, but most devices run on very different ports that I was not able to find out beforehand.

Is it even possible to get this kind of information with Flutter?

I tried the example app from the lan_scanner plugin and a Stream Connection on active founded IP Adresses in the actual wifi network on Port 80. But the most devices in the wifi network has different ports then port 80. So i think this Idea is bad.
